Lyrics

The Bellwether
c, by Jason Emery,2005


VERSE:
Don't get your hopes up
Advice I try to ignore
Cause without high hopes I'm bored
Yeah it seems naive
Unless you've dug through all the drawers

CHORUS:
The bellwether has wandered out of sight
With the same defense that helps him sleep at night

VERSE:
Like pulling teeth out
Just to get to the point
I hope you'll please forgive my mad goodbyes
It may be likely
But I shouldn't be surprised

CHORUS:
To wind up in an awful mess alone
With the memory of an echo of a home

BRIDGE:
Not what I have in mind
But then the let-down just seems in line
I still may disappoint

VERSE:
Don't get your hopes up
Because you've seen it before
You even understood the reasons why
You should be relieved to nurse your wounds and write the score

CHORUS:
The quiet life has beaten Bigfoot down
And it's not the same when it's loud
